To those of you who prodded me - it's done. SAL Bills sent out - now let's see the rest of the finished pieces - r,d,h. Ellice - who ought to put up a photo of hers as well

The church I used to belong to 20-30 years ago closed down, and there were two Hardanger pieces I'd made for them that were offered to me for my current church. Well, the pastor and head of the altar guild were *thrilled* to get them, and I just spent an hour with them trying ifferent...

I got to stitch last night!!!! First time since I moved. I have my little corner set up with lights, projects, etc. Belle curled up at my feet, bad television on and threads to pull. It was heaven! linda

I am a new subscriber to this site and I thought I'd make myself know. I live just outside Sydney Australia but was born and raised in Elgin Illinois (long story). I am an avid cross stitcher but will try just about any form of stitching. I learned about your site from the books by Monica Ferris...

Since so many of us need a visual aid when stitching, I thought I'd post this link for some really sweet readers we saw today, at of all places, the National Gallery of American Art Book Shop (and they were $1 cheaper). Anyhow, they were really, really, cute and optically awesome when I tried them...

I just got this silly quote from the always logical Maxine in my e-mail and it was just too perfect for those of us who were discussing saving dust bunnies from extinction or having clean houses. "Always keep several get well cards on the mantle..... so if unexpected guests arrive, they will...

Is anyone active here, an active member of SCA? My neighbor's oldest has just joined and while I can help him some, does anyone have suggests for where to find patterns and/or clothes. I'll be teaching him how to do the embroidery (as a broad term) for what ever persona he chooses. Thanks Cheryl

Ok - DH is off until July 7th. During that time, I will stitch if it kills me. I will garden. I will read We will clean out junk, take books to the library for the sale room and old toys and out grown clothes to the thrift shop.

I just finished "Blood and Ice" (Robert Masello). I would tell you don't bother. Started out really good but then the holes started showing. Experienced hikers/climbers don't make the mistakes which the "hero" made. Protocol at scientific bases in the Antarctic are not as loosey goosey as written....

I just got an email from DMC and one of the items in it was called, "Color Infusions". They look kind of interesting. Anyone seen these? Not that I need more stash, y'know, but..... Joan

Frankly, I don't live there, but I do hit FB once or twice a day. I went to stay in touch with one HS friend who prefers it to emails. I have since reconnected with a bunch of HS friends and that has been fun. I've even gone to see one of them play in their 70's cover band. (which was very...

Are you still wanting DMC Scented Floss ? I was in my local Hobbycraft today, and noticed they are selling the individual skeins. My email address is valid if you'd like to contact me privately. Regards........ Polly (UK)

Has anyone else tried the new Coconut M&M? I think they are too coconut.... I've also seen some other "Transformers" flavors - a PB&J blend.... C

SAS (aka Share A Stitch) is the annual seminar hosted by the Tennessee Valley Region of EGA. Travel to Nashville was easy, since it's just a hop, skip, and 2 jumps from me and a friend (control freak type) did all the driving. Despite arriving close to check in time, many of the rooms weren't...

Got this from my sister..... To make it stand, You wet it! To make it wet, You suck it! To make it stiff, You lick it!

Just joined so this is an introduction really. Looks like a very interesting group, will add new posts soon.

Okay, we had to have a new hard drive put into the computer. Now when I get an email and there's a link that I click on, the page that comes up is very small and when I click the maximize button , it doesn't do anything..only when I click home and then the back button does the page get to...
